SMOKE-CONSUMING HEATER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 54,705, dated May`l5,1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, GEORGE W. FAIR, of Dayton, Montgomery county, State of Ohio, haveinvented anew and useful Smoke-Consuming Arched Heater, to be placed inside of a Stove, range, or furnace; and I do hereby declare the following to be an exactdescription thereof, reference bein g had to the acconn'ianying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

'lhe nature of my invention consists iu a re-clay arch Slotted at top, with a sheet-iron smoke-consumer above and drafts or lines on each side of the arch.

Figure l represents a vertical section in line at right angles with Fig. 2; Fig. 2 a section in line at right angles with Fig. l.

A represents the arch, made ot' reclay or {ire-brick, with a long, narrow aperture, B, at top; C, the fire-place. D is the door ot' replace; E, the grate beneath the {ire-place 5 F, the ash-pan. G G are tlues formed between the sides of the lire-place C and the arch A. H is another flue, that extends around the whole and outside of the arch A to the top of the arch. J isa dome on top curved upward to a point, the apex being a round or square aperture of three or four inches in diameter. K K K K are small round apertures through which cold air passes into each flue G and H both at the front and back of the stove.

As the air passes into the flue G it comes in contact with the rc and heats the smoke as it passes from the aperture B, with the dame of the fire, into the dome J at top; and as the air passes through K into the flue Hit also becomes heated, passing overthe arch, and, rushing into the dome at top, sets the smoke into a whirl, while the cold air passing down into the apex and aperture of the dome pre vents the smoke from rising', and the flame from the top of the arch consumes itcoin pletel y, and no smoke passes ott' from the stove or top ofthe dome. Thus do I dispense with the use ot' a stove-pipe or chimney and have a comfortable stove located in the center or any part of a room or parlor. I have had one in use for several Weeks in my parlor and found it to answer and perform accordingly.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The lire-clay arch A, with its long aperture B at top, as arranged and combined with its fireplace C and inside due, G, as herein described.

2. The Outside flue, H, constructed of sheet iron or metal, around the arch, as arranged and combined with the dome J, as herein described, and for the purposes set forth.

GEORGE WV. FAIR.
